‘Reflektor‘ shifted over 140,000 units this week, thus becoming the band’s second # 1 album after their previous set ‘The Suburbs‘ debuted atop the charts, eventually winning the coveted Album Of The Year Grammy in 2011.

Mizz Kelly Clarkson, thoroughly flaw-free as ever, announces the arrival of Christmas a month and a half in advance, as ‘Wrapped In Red‘, her first Christmas set launches at # 3 this week with over 70,000 units sold. The album becomes her sixth album to arrive within the top 3 – her entire discography! Expect the album sales to soar over the next few weeks around the holiday season, along with Mary J Blige’s first Christmas release ‘A Mary Christmas‘, which peaked at # 23 on its release a fortnight ago.

Over at the Hot 100 Singles Chart, Lorde’s ‘Royals‘ continues to rule for a 6th consecutive week, effectively blocking major new entries by Eminem and One Direction.

And after 7 weeks of women ruling the top 3 – Miley, Katy and Lorde – a man named Eminem breaks into the top 3 with his new single ‘The Monster‘ – of course with the help of a certain woman named Rihanna.

‘The Monster‘ sold over 373,000 downloads to début at # 3 on the Hot 100 – thus becoming Rihanna’s 25th top 10 hit, making her achieve the feat faster than Queen Madonna herself. Looks like she’s on course to land her 13th # 1 single soon, looking at the airplay and digital sales of ‘The Monster‘.
